We all want the impossible in this life: guarantees for the future. Sometimes the same thing is the protection and loyalty of higher powers. But you always want everything to go as desired, as really necessary, at some point. And then we resort to the help of higher powers through various prayers.

This is a very ancient practice, which people have always resorted to in the most critical moments of their lives: pronouncing various words that relate to different forces: light, or even dark - it’s who will choose which side.

Archangel Michael - first among the Angels

Archangel Michael is one of the seven Archangels of God, which the sacred Tradition tells us about (after all, as you know, Christians keep not only the Holy Scripture - what was written down by the apostles, but also Tradition - what was just as accurately passed on from mouth to mouth mouth). But Michael is not just and not only one of the Archangels. After he was able to convince the rest of his brother-angels who did not agree that Satan could be like God, rebel against the liar with the cry “Who is like God?!”, and defeat him, he took the place of his impudent former brother.

After all, Satan was the main one over the angels and before his fall bore a name that corresponded to his then, primordial essence: Lucifer, where “Luci” is the morning star, and “sphere” is the star. He, the Morning Star, was beautiful among the angels. But he became proud, deciding that since he was so beautiful and powerful, he could do without God and become a god himself, convinced many other angels of this, then confused and deceived Eve, who ate from the forbidden tree and pushed Adam to do the same, after which he degenerated into a sadist and the most disgusting and base creature in the entire universe.

After Michael cast him into hell, God blessed His faithful creation and placed him in charge over all the remaining angels. We do not know what the name of the future Angelic governor was before his feat, but it was after that war that they began to call him in all centuries with the same cry “Who is like God” or - Mikhail. His title is now Archangel, that is, almost like Generalissimo.

From this story we see that Archangel Michael- the main one in the fight against the spirits of darkness and has from God the special grace to “step on” these “snakes”. In order to call for help the most formidable, just and holy warrior in the universe, there are many prayers.

Prayer or spell?

Of course, the prayer to Archangel Michael is very strong; protection will certainly be provided to the person praying. However, there are also some “buts” in this matter.

We are talking about one subtlety that can make you an ally of Mikhail, or maybe put you on reverse side, by knowledge or ignorance. And the whole point is that many people treat prayer as... a spell. That is, all the faith (more precisely, pseudo-faith) of a person goes into finding such a special one, special prayer, which I read a certain number of times - and it’s done.

We all want a magic button that says: money, health, love, happiness, fulfillment of all desires, protection, and so on. Or suddenly we decided that we need a “most powerful prayer” button. Moreover, it is important that the text itself is strong. Just like that, read it - and everything immediately fell from the sky. Maximum effect with minimum action.

The mystical attitude towards interaction with God and His servants is one of the main mistakes that lead people to disappointment and unfair words towards God. But this is not the saddest thing - it disorients a person, confuses him. As Jesus Christ, the second hypostasis of God, said, “according to your faith it will be a long time for you.” That is, it is not enough to just read the text - you need faith. Well, at least the most overwhelming, the size of a mustard seed, the size of a speck of dust, but faith, trust in exactly the one whose help is required. A real attitude towards the heavenly protector, who is exactly what is asked for. And not a “button” (a super-strong prayer that will do everything for you) that is “pressed.”

Strong protective prayer to Archangel Michael

Protective prayer to Archangel Michael exists. And not alone. You can find and download a prayer to Archangel Michael from Orthodox websites. This will guarantee that what you have before you are genuine prayers compiled by holy people. There are many prayers, because people have known for a long time and for good reasons how threatening they are towards offenders and strong Michael maybe when his help is asked. After all, most often really offended and humiliated people turn to him. It is unlikely that any of the offenders would think of asking Mikhail to take their side. However, a simple appeal to the Archangel, in his own words, but from the heart, will be enough for the Archangel to hear and take control of the matter.

People who are internally not ready or unwilling to accept it that this is not mysticism, not spells, and so on, they are looking for a specific prayer that was written on the walls of one of the ancient temples. The temple was destroyed, but the prayer was preserved. There was a postscript to this battle, saying that those who read it every day will receive complete protection from all their enemies, and on the day of death, the spirits of evil will not be able to come close to the soul of the deceased and prevent them from getting into heaven.

It’s as simple as that: just read a prayer every day, and that’s it. And it turns out that it doesn’t matter what you do: you lie, judge, steal, get angry, cheat, tell fortunes for Christmas. you hold a needle over the threshold from an evil person... You did not visit the patient. Didn't feed the beggar. He did not support the prisoner and did not guide him on the path of God. But! - but I read a prayer.

That is, in place of personal labor and efforts to lead a lifestyle pleasing to GOD, to believe in Him and worship Him, to imitate Him, believe Him and His servants who, in fact, carry out His will, devote themselves to just one action - to read a prayer, which, without all the above personal efforts, automatically turns into a spell, into a specially composed text to get what you want, into a “button”. Moreover, this text was composed and written down by no one knows who, when or why. But, as you know, ignorance of the law does not exempt you from responsibility.

Prayer then prayer, when a person gives all his hope to the one with whom he communicates: with God, His Mother, His angels, His saints - people who are enlightened by His Holy Spirit. Communicating means doing something in common with him, which means that at the moment of prayer, the one praying and the one to whom they are addressing are unanimous. This means that a person accepts - consciously - the side of the world, chooses God.

If what is being read is simply like a spell - they say, I’ll read it quickly and prosperity will immediately come, and all enemies will fall at my feet, the evil eye will return to its author and the damage will curl up into a tube and crawl away on one paw - then it’s better not waste time. This may not only not help, but also harm. What exactly? - soul.

Yes, maybe this will help normalize the situation. Yes, maybe the caster will get what he wanted. But here it will be possible to ask a fair question: who will ultimately turn out to be an assistant - the Archangel or the opposite side? After all, the devil often catches a person in his desires: make a wish, I will fulfill it for you... - you will have to. What exactly? Yes, of course, yourself. If you die, you will be mine, you will live in hell forever. Otherwise, who are we going to mock with the lads there?

If for you the question of where the help came from is unprincipled, and the main thing is to get what you want, then you are in the wrong place. This is for all evil spirits:

• to fortune tellers,
• grandmothers (this, as you know, is not always an indicator of age, rather an occupation),
• magicians,
• clairvoyant
• witches,
• mediums and other “supernatural” people.

But Orthodox Christians put above all else the salvation of their souls and the souls of those with whom God brings them together during their lives. Therefore, they will expect help only from the good hands of God or His good servants who do His will. And nothing else. There is no compromise, even the slightest, between the side of God and the side of Satan, there has not been and cannot be. Be sure to take this into account.

The Orthodox Church deeply reveres the Holy Heavenly Archangel. Although, note, in Holy Scripture Not much is said about him, just a couple of lines. We know everything basic from the Holy Tradition, which is equivalent to Scripture. One day of the week is dedicated to Michael and his Angels - Monday. That is, prayers have been offered to the Archangel every week for many centuries. Children are named after him and temples are built. Twice a year in Orthodox churches Separate, specially composed services are sung to him, compiled in honor of his victory over Satan and his miracles.

The Archangel never refused to help those who, just like Him, love God (at least to one degree or another), profess His name and strive for Him - Christians. He did not refuse help and to the Jewish people, until they crucified the Lord. After the coming of the Savior and His death, the Archangel passionately loves Christians and always helps. However, if you are essentially a pagan (believe in damage, the evil eye, prayers, spells, turn to fortune telling, fortune tellers, clairvoyants, mediums), then... Archangel will help you. But only if you repent (confess this to the priest as sins and a crime against faith and the will of the Heavenly Father).

In any case, only after your repentance will you be able to rest assured that help came from where it was needed and that no “soul payment” will be required. After all, as you know, Satan encroaches on what is most precious - the human soul. Or, if a person has not yet realized the value of his soul, on their loved ones or loved ones.

Protective prayer to Archangel Michael

We seriously considered the question of a prayer that provides strong protection - the one written on the walls of the Chudov Monastery. Orthodox Christians cannot say anything against prayer itself. It is compiled according to all the canons of faith s and expresses the correct mood of the person praying. You can find and download its text on the World Wide Web. You can read it every day.

Night prayer to Archangel Michael

There is no special prayer that needs to be read at night (and only at night!). HOWEVER, Christians pray at night and prefer this time for prayer. However, there is no mysticism in this. Night time is most convenient for concentration. It is free from sudden phone calls, road noise, and the family is already asleep at this time. The human body is aimed at work during the daytime, and at night - at processing information, contemplation, and prayer. If the person praying knows how to listen to himself and understands what he wants, then the prayer will be more formalized.

Akathist to Michael the Archangel

- one of the most common prayers, more precisely, one of the forms of prayers. This is literally a hymn, joyful and prayerful at the same time. It praises the Archangel, expresses love for the servant of God, and serves at the same time as thanksgiving, a request and a wish. The Akathist is divided into 25 parts.

• 12 kontakia (short),
• 12 ikos – starting with the exclamation “Rejoice”,
• 1 or 2 prayers.

Akathists can be read, or they can be sung. Moreover, the chant of the akathists is very beautiful, listening to them is a pleasure. They are sung in monasteries and churches. A certain tradition and chants also exist in summer Christian countries. In Greece there are very beautiful chants. If you don’t have time to read or you can’t or don’t know how to do it, then you can download them and listen to them in the car or at home.

Why do they read a prayer to Michael the Archangel?

They pray to Michael on different occasions. He is very responsive and helps quickly:

• when it is necessary to protect the innocent or those who repent of their sins,
• if you need help in defeating sin or passion,
• while traveling (lost),
• in situations where mental strength is needed,
• when possessed,
• if you need help in finding yourself or life path and so on.

A short prayer to Michael the Archangel

In fact, even any atheist knows the shortest prayer. it sounds like this: “Lord, have mercy.” To all saints, disembodied forces (angels), the prayer is the same, only the appeal to Michael will be as follows: “Holy Archangel of God Michael, pray to God for us (or for me).” This prayer can be said mentally even in the most acute cases . Mikhail will hear and intervene.

Saint Archangel Michael is the first fighter against evil spirits. And you need to treat it accordingly. A prayer to him should really be a prayer, and not a spell. This is the main condition that must be met. Then the servant of God will not leave you and will always help you.

Michael is the main angel. Perhaps, for all of us, Archangel Michael is the most famous and most revered representative of the angelic world. His name is mentioned in both the Old and New Testaments, and many legends and tales have been written about Him.

Archangel Michael is known and revered in many religions of the world. Archangel Michael is prayed for protection, for healing from illnesses, when entering a new home, and in many other cases.

A few words about angels and the angelic world

The angelic world is Great spiritual world, created by God, in which intelligent, good creatures live. This world was created a long time ago and is inhabited by enlightened and very kind beings - angels. Angels is the common name for these creatures, which translated means “Messenger”. Messengers of the Will of God - this is their main purpose, but at the same time, each angel is a separate Person, endowed with his own will and freedom of choice.

For now we will only briefly touch on the device of this amazing world, but in the following posts we will definitely look at it more closely. Let me just mention that this world also has its own hierarchy. The lowest link in this wondrous world order is the one closest to us - the guardian angel, but the prefix “arch” indicates the most exalted service to God, compared to others. Archangels are higher than guardian angels and their main credo is our heavenly teachers, who show us how to do the right thing and strengthen people’s holy faith (Rev. 12:7). And the very first of them is the Archangel Michael. Archangel means “Commander-in-Chief”

How does Archangel Michael help?

Archangel Michael - leader of the Lord’s army, patron of warriors and protector from all evil

“Who is like God” is how the name Michael is translated from Hebrew. In Scripture, the Archangel Michael is shown to us as a “prince,” “leader of the army of the Lord.” According to St. Gregory the Great, the archangel Michael is sent to Earth whenever the miraculous power of the Lord is to appear.

On the icons, Saint Archangel Michael is mainly presented to us in military armor, with a sword or spear in his hand. The whole point is that it was Archangel Michael who first called on those angels who did not follow the example of the fallen to follow the path of fighting temptation. So He became the leader of the Lord’s Host and won the battle with Lucifer and the demons (as the fallen angels began to be called), “throwing them down into hell, into the depths of the underworld.” This confrontation between light and dark forces, this struggle between good and evil is still ongoing on earth and we are all also its active participants.

Archangel Michael is the Great Protector, the “Sword of the Lord” and God’s Intercessor. That is why Archangel Michael is considered the patron saint of warriors, the protector from all evil visible and invisible, from evil spirits and the protector of all Orthodox Christians.

In addition, Archangel Michael is considered the protector and patron of the Jewish people.

Archangel Michael – protector of the souls of the dead, protector of the sleeping

Also, Archangel Michael is considered the protector of the souls of the dead on their way to the Throne from the enemies of the Antichrist.

According to apocryphal sources

• It is Archangel Michael who accompanies the Virgin Mary through hell, explaining to Her the reasons for the torment of sinners (Walk of the Virgin Mary through torment).
• Jesus Christ after his descent into hell, namely Arch. Mikhail entrusts the souls of the righteous to accompany them to heaven.
• According to Greek legends, the Archangel Michael is present at the death of a person.
• According to the revelation of St. Pavel, architect. Michael washes the souls of the dead before entering Heavenly Jerusalem.

It is also believed that He sifts out sinners from the righteous, and also begs from God the souls of some sinners who did at least some good deeds during their lifetime (transfers them from the left side to the right (righteous)).

“Stop crying, O my chosen one Michael, O my good steward. Is it good for them... those who repented... to enter into all this torment? But for your sake, O my chosen one Michael, and for your tears that you shed because of them, I command you that you fulfill all your desires in relation to those on the left, and number them among those on my right.”

It is believed that the Archangel Michael is in charge of the “Great Book of Fates,” which contains all the human lives and sins of each of us.

St. Archangel Michael is assigned great importance and in future events, namely when the end of the world comes, at the Last Judgment

“Holy Archangel Michael, protect us in the struggle, do not let us die at the Last Judgment”

Archangel Michael is also considered the protector of the sleeping person and a helper in sorrow.

Archangel Michael is a healer. They also pray to Archangel Michael during the consecration of the house.

This conclusion came to us from antiquity. The whole point is that in early Christianity it was believed that evil spirits are the source of all diseases, and the Archangel Michael is the winner over them, which means he also conquers diseases.

And yet, whatever one may say, there are many cases of healing through prayers to Archangel Michael. It is not for nothing that chapels in the name of the Archangel Michael were built at hospitals in the past, or they tried to build infirmaries next to St. Michael’s churches. There are cases of healing at holy springs at monasteries in honor of the Archangel Michael.

• They also pray to Archangel Michael when entering a new house and consecrating it.

Prayer to Saint Archangel Michael - very strong protection

Orthodox Christians believe that in addition to what is visible physical world There is also a spiritual, invisible world. We find confirmation of this in Holy Scripture. This world is inhabited by angels - incorporeal spiritual beings. Translated from ancient Greek, the word “angel” means “messenger”. They received this name because it is through His angels that the Lord often helps us in our earthly life and makes His Will clear.

We cannot know for certain about the structure of the subtle spiritual world, but we know that there, too, its own hierarchy operates. Thus, Archangel Michael is considered one of the “main” angels.

The prefix “archi” indicates a higher service at the Throne of the Lord compared to other heavenly entities.

In what cases is a prayer to Archangel Michael read and why?

How to pray to the Holy Archangel correctly

Our church teaches that there are nine orders of angels in total. Relying on doctrine, any Orthodox Christian has no reason to deny such an angelic hierarchy. Arachangel Michael is prayed to as the leader of the entire angelic army. It is not for nothing that he is depicted on the icon with a sword - according to legend, it was with this sword that Dennitsa, who became Satan, was overthrown from Paradise.

Since ancient times, Orthodox warriors have read the prayer to Archangel Michael when going to battle. Of course, it would be blasphemy to pray before undertaking any dishonorable or criminal deed or lawlessness. You can only resort to spiritual help with clear conscience and before fighting for a just cause.

They pray to the leader of the angels in such cases:

• before battles;
• in military conflicts;
• for protection from the influence of evil forces;
• to help in the spiritual struggle with passions.

When reading the prayer request, do not forget that you cannot put malice into your words and thoughts. Even if there is some kind of struggle with the enemy, you need to pray for help without hatred.

Any anger and negativity is from the evil one, and the words of such an appeal to God will never be heard. In addition, one must always remember that a person always carries the greatest evil in his soul. A prayer to Archangel Michael for every day can become powerful weapon in the fight against one's own sins and passions. You just have to sincerely ask for help, and it will definitely come. Most strong man the one who managed to defeat himself. And real victory over yourself lies in taming your passions. A person himself is not able to cope with such a task, so one must ask for God’s help.

An important point is the general attitude towards prayer as such. Today you can come across many views when prayer is turned into some kind of ritual or magical conspiracy. This approach is contrary to the spirit of the Orthodox faith and, apart from spiritual harm, does not bring anything to a person. We need to turn to God only by trusting in His mercy towards us and believing that the Lord will never send anything that could harm a person.

Miracles of the Archangel Michael

Many Christians around the world have been able to personally verify the undeniable help that the heavenly intercessor provides to all who turn to him for help with faith and a pure heart. But where did his veneration come from in the first place?

Tradition indicates that the temple to the main angel was erected in Phrygia. Near this temple there was a spring with healing water. The temple was built by a man whose mute daughter spoke after drinking this water.

After the construction of the majestic temple, the most different people from all over the area, seeking recovery and spiritual help in weaknesses and troubles. Even many pagans received healing from the temple source, which led to mass renunciations of idolatry and baptisms into the faith of Christ. Of course, such a spread of the new faith could not go unnoticed by ardent pagans.

A certain man, Arkhippus, served in the new temple and was distinguished by his special piety and fear of God. Through his prayers and efforts, many opponents of Christianity were baptized and accepted the true faith. And so the enemies of Christianity, embittered at the saint, decided to kill him and at the same time destroy the temple they hated. To do this, they decided to connect the waters of two rivers that flowed nearby. The water was supposed to rush towards the temple in a single powerful stream, sweeping away everything in its path.

Having learned about the impending trouble, Arkhippus diligently read a prayer to the Apostle Michael, very strong protection which did not cause the saint the slightest doubt. And a real miracle happened - the leader of the heavenly army, Michael, himself appeared near the temple. With his sword, he made a deep gap in the nearest rock, and all the water rushed there, bypassing the temple. Having witnessed such obvious divine intervention, the pagans became cowardly and ran away. Saint Archippus did not cease to thank the Lord together with his devoted disciples.

The memory of this miracle is celebrated in our church to this day, receiving the name of the miracle of the Archangel Michael in Khony.

Cathedral of the Archangel Michael

Another revered holiday of our church, associated with the leader of the heavenly army, is the Council of the Archangel Michael. The Holy Church celebrates it annually in November. On the day of this holiday, all the ethereal heavenly forces that protect us every day in earthly life are revered.

The prayer to Archangel Michael against evil forces on this day is of particular importance, since absolutely all ethereal entities populating the spiritual world take up the fight against the spirits of evil. The teachings of the Holy Church distinguish nine angelic ranks, which are all under the leadership of the supreme Archangel.

On this day, it is very advisable to attend a church service in order to personally address the heavenly powers with your requests. In many churches, prayer services are held with the blessing of water - the blessed water from them can be drunk daily while reading the rule or in difficult life circumstances.

Prayer to Archangel Michael every day is a great protection for all Orthodox Christian believers from any evil. We should not forget that, due to God’s great mercy towards people, we have been given the protection of an entire army of spiritual forces. You just have to remember to ask for help and try to do it with sincere faith and a pure heart.

Holy and great Archangel of God Michael, the inscrutable and all-essential Trinity, the first primate of the Angels, the guardian and guardian of the human race, crushing with his army the head of the proud Denis in heaven and putting to shame his malice and deceit on earth! We resort to you with faith and we pray to you with love: be an indestructible shield and a strong shield for the Holy Church and our Orthodox Fatherland, protecting them with your lightning sword from all enemies, visible and invisible. Do not, O Archangel of God, forsake us through your help and intercession, who today glorify your holy name: behold, even though we are many sinners, we do not want to perish in our iniquities, but to turn to the Lord and be quickened by Him to do good deeds . Illuminate our minds with the light of God’s face, which shines on your lightning-like brow, so that we can understand that God’s will for us is good and perfect, and that we know all that it is fitting for us to do and that which we should despise and abandon. Strengthen our weak will and weak will with the grace of the Lord, so that, having established ourselves in the law of the Lord, we will cease to be dominated by earthly thoughts and the lusts of the flesh, carried away in the likeness of senseless children by the soon-to-perish beauties of this world, as if for the sake of the corruptible and earthly it is foolish to forget the eternal and heavenly. For all of these, ask us from above for the spirit of true repentance, unfeigned sadness for God and contrition for our sins, so that we may spend the remaining number of days of our temporary life not in pleasing our feelings and working with our passions, but in erasing the evils we have committed with tears of faith and contrition of heart, deeds of purity and holy deeds of mercy. When the hour of our end approaches, liberation from the bonds of this mortal body, do not leave us. Archangel of God, defenseless against the spirits of wickedness in heaven, accustomed to block the souls of mankind from rising to heaven, yes, protected by you, we will reach those glorious villages of paradise without stumbling, where there is no sorrow, no sighing, but endless life, and, being honored to see the bright face of the All-Blessed Lord and Master ours, falling with tears at His feet, let us exclaim in joy and tenderness: glory to Thee, our dearest Redeemer, Who for Thy great love for us, unworthy, was pleased to send Thy angels to serve our salvation! Amen.
